crelf Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but NI's offering a new course at NI-Week this year: LabVIEW Object-Oriented Programming System Design. The topics look pretty good, including an introduction to OOD with UML. Rumour has it that the course won't just concentrate on LVOOP, but also include some Endevo stuff too :thumbup: Quote

I have no idea what you are talking about - NI's hiring a cruise ship for us all to party on? Can you please provide a link to where you heard this, or give us some more information so we have context? Quote

The course is on Sunday and Monday, so YOU won't miss the any of the NI-week days. Cheers, Mikael Quote
crelf Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Posted July 22, 2008 QUOTE (MikaelH @ Jul 21 2008, 06:59 AM) I can confirm the rumour since I'm teaching it. That's awesome - there's no-one better to teach the course! PS: Mikael taught me GOOP many years ago, and is not only very knowledgable in OO, but is also a LabVIEW stalwart, a Certified LabVIEW Architect, the man behind the Endevo GOOP Development Toolkit and UML Modeller (written completely in LabVIEW), and an all-around great bloke!

Norm Kirchner Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 It says that all that is required is LV basics. Will this be too basic of stuff to keep me interested? I'm sure Mikael is a great instructor, but if the material isn't heavy duty I may need to bring extra coffee. Quote
Aristos Queue Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 QUOTE (Norm Kirchner @ Jul 25 2008, 11:19 AM) Will this be too basic of stuff to keep me interested? Probably this course is below your threshold of interest. It's for people who know LV but not LabVOOP. You already know the how and the why of LabVIEW classes. Send a flunky of yours and tell them to report back to you any interesting tidbits. :-)On the other hand, block off Thursday afternoon... I'm presenting a session then that should be more your speed.

Norm Kirchner Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Hmmm... now I'm all confused. NI's web page says Basics is enough. but on the PDF spec of the course says Intermediate or better required. Maybe I should have waited for the cruise instead of signing up for sun-mon Quote
MikaelH Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Hi I just came back from New Zealand where I held the OO course in Auckland at a company. During the first day of the course I go through the principle of OO-Design and Analysis and objects by flow and references. The second day we create a whole test system application from a problem description, using UML class diagram and then we implement it. I like to customize the course as much as possible depending on the student needs, so I normally like to know what kind of systems the students are developing. Cheers, Mikael Quote
Norm Kirchner Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Well I suppose I'll be the first to chime in and give some direction. I have 2 major concerns and confusions on how to handle. Dealing with a variety of instruments of varying and similar types and how to deal w/ different but overlapping configurations and secondly, dealing w/ sets of objects when trying to handle complex data sets in which the sets have similar and overlapping properties but I don't want to replicate datasets due to size. Got any slides for that? Quote

Norm: I take it back. I saw the full cirruiculum for the first time today. While I do think it will start off slow for you, I think there may be useful stuff in there come day 2. Quote
jgcode Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 Hi Mikael Two questions: 1) Does the course you are teaching hand out an NI Manual, a custom one, or no manual? 2) Are there any plans that you be teaching this course over East in Australia any time soon? Cheers mate JG Quote
Yair Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 QUOTE (Ton @ Aug 4 2008, 09:38 PM) For Yair's pleasure you should include Israel as well. NOW you're talking! :thumbup: You should come. I'm sure you'll like it. Unfortunately, NI Israel doesn't really hold technical LabVIEW days. They have NIDays, but that isn't really technical and so far they always brought marketing\management people from abroad. Quote
